Rejected petition: Let Devon Decide
Rejected on
Pause local government reorganisation in Devon and hold local referendums before any new authority is created or any community is moved into a different council area. The future of Devon should not be changed without the consent of the people affected.
No reorganisation of Devon without the consent of its people
We are calling on the Government to pause the implementation of local government reorganisation and hold local referendums before these changes are imposed.
The future of Devon should not be decided solely by ministers, council leaders and officials behind closed doors.
The future of Devon should be decided by the people of Devon.
